Hello. Guide how to fit double din GPU to your DELL e520 computer. AKA long story 
D
At the beginning when i bought e520 for 30£ quit with stock e4300 CPU and crap 128mb GPU
and 4 sticks of 512mb ram..
I looked thru internet what could i do with this PC ? couse its my first desktop pc everDD however never found correct answers ..
What i've done -
CPU upgrade from e4300 to Q6600 ( much cheaper than Q6700 paid 30£ on ebay)
Memory - 2X Kingston2GB DDR2-667 DDR2 SDRAM ( paid 20£ on ebay )
Funny part
)
GPU upgrade to double slot ASUS GTX 660 ( found ideal deal on ebay for 99£ for new Asus GTX660-DC2O-2GD5 )
spend almost 18£ for Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 for cpu in case to reduse the space. Becouse orginal CPU cooler takes a lot. FAIL artic does not fit...later on find info that dell e520 MB are not standart size so it will not fit standart ATX components....Money wasted..
Orite, got new 650w no name psu from ebay to power my 660 no luck , games are not running. i was thinkin my GPU FAILING. Then i checked thah 660 requires 24 amp's and my current PSU only gives 18.. Bought another no name 32 amps 750w PSU ... same shit...
Then i desided to asked some wise people here for help. Got answer Crap PSU D So no more no name PSU's ! I got a CORSAIR TX650W 650W PSU. all system works proper. quite smooth and fast
Below ill post some pictures what do u need to do with ur stock e520 case and CPU cooler incase to fit double dinn graphic card PS other DD cards might be wider than gtx660 so might not fit at all.
PS. Sorry for my PC back view but i had no time to make it nice i just ripped of the metal parts which was on the way of my brand new gtx 660
nea really straight but works orite ;]
Idle temp's
I did hard stress test for CPU for 20 min. In first 7 min temp went up to 60C and stayed at the same at all time think its good enough after CPU cooler shell modifications lol DD any questions PM me ;]
